Malcorra meets Boris Johnson; he apologizes for Darwin cemetery damages
The Argentine minister shakes hands with foreign secretary Boris Johnson, according to the pic posted in the ministry site Argentine foreign minister Susana Malcorra met Friday morning with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in the framework of the G 20 ministerial summit which took place in the German city of Bonn. There was no official release on the meeting which apparently was brief.
However a picture of the two shaking hands was posted in the Argentine ministry site, and later Ms Malcorra said that during the encounter foreign secretary Johnson said he would like to visit Argentina and “apologized for the damages at the Darwin cemetery in the Falklands”.
The Argentine media also anticipates that Chancellor Phillip Hammond will be visiting Buenos Aires sometime during the year, but what is certain is that Trade Secretary Greg Hands and a UK business delegation will be traveling to Argentina.
Likewise Prime Minister Theresa May and president Mauricio Macri should have a chance to meet when the next G20 summit in Hamburg scheduled for July. Further more if PM May is still in office in 2018, the following G20 summit is scheduled to take place in Argentina and the two leaders will have ample time to talk.
It must be remembered that Macri and Malcorra did meet with the previous British government of PM David Cameron, and had a fluid relation. Macri also came across PM May during a UN reception in New York last year.
Foreign ministers will have another chance to gather and talk in Munich when they meet over the weekend for the Security Conference hosted by Germany.

Read all commentsI am assuming the conversation went something like this; Boris “Ah Ms Malcorra, we were sorry to hear about the damage to the cemetery”. Jabba replied with, “Si Gracias”. But as ever they misinterpret everything and then publish lies to support their warped world view.

Feb 19th, 2017 - 03:51 pm +8Argentina: brought to you by the same people that created the Inquisition!

“s a matter of fact, most of fiscal paradises - created solely to evade taxes and rob the population blind - are currently or former, british colonies”
“Most” you say. Not ALL, certainly.
In South America, “evading taxation and stealing from the populace” seems to be the accepted norm, in Mercosur countries at least.
Just look at CFK, Lula, and Maduro, as modern day examples.
CFK and Lula are both going to jail soon for theft and corruption, Maduro's family and friends use government assets and Diplomatic Passports to export cocaine to the USA. He is only kept in power by armed motochoros shooting unarmed women and children.
Ah, the South American Bolivarian utopia.
I don't see the British there, or do they run all of SA from the Falklands with 1500 soldiers and 4 Typhoon jets?
Nice to see that you hold your SA Chilean neighbours in high regard.
BTW, their economy is surpassing that of Argentina's, now.
Seems Natasha Niebieskikwiat (Clarin) has more information than Telam? The UK's Foreign Office has not released any detail of the conversation - as yet.
